Abstract
The authors of the article propose a study of the cultural preferences of students at the Institute of Pedagogy, Psychology, and Sociology (IPPS) of SFU as a form of identification. The Institute of Pedagogy, Psychology, and Sociology of SFU was chosen as the platform for collecting empirical data. The subject of the research is the cultural preferences of full-time undergraduate students at IPPS as identification and hierarchical traits in the cultural field. The aim of the work is to study the cultural preferences of full-time undergraduate students at the Institute of Pedagogy, Psychology, and Sociology of SFU as identification and hierarchical traits in the cultural field. Using a non-probability sampling method and through online surveys conducted from October to December 2024, primary information about students' cultural preferences was collected. The result of the work is the confirmation of Rossman-Peterson's hypothesis about the "cultural omnivorousness" of respondents as representatives of a more "highbrow" social group; however, within the "highbrow" students, there is differentiation in the level of cultural consumption advancement. An original methodology for calculating the respondents' "omnivorousness" was developed: the arithmetic means of the rows of cultural choices of students reflect the probability that a student who made the selection specified in the row title will also choose something else: the higher the average, the more diverse the leisure activities. The obtained data allowed for the formulation of the following hypothesis: the more "omnivorous" a person is, with a broader range of cultural consumption, the higher their status in the cultural consumer hierarchy. Further research is required to confirm or refute these assumptions. It would be particularly interesting to check how much the respondents themselves agree with the statement that "omnivorousness" is a sign of higher status in the cultural consumer hierarchy.
